This invention appertains to improvements in the broad class of surgeryand more specif ically the invention aims to'provide-an attachment forsyringes of the douching type,

which may beutilized as a shield toregulate penetration of the syringeand in the capacity of a drain for to escape from the vagina. V Animportant object of the invention is to l provide an attachment ofthis'character which can be readily removed from a permit cleaningthereof. 1 Another paramount object of the invention syringe to is toprovide an attachment for syringes,- .15 whereby the douching fluidmaybe effec-- tively controlled in its application to the sub ject undertreatment. g Another object is to provide an attachment in the natureof-a shield of. suchbrief conpermit its manufacture at nominal cost. 3

These and other objects of the invention will become moreapparent to thereader after considering the inventionclaimed hereinafter. v

In the drawings 1 Figure 1 represents a sectional View through theimproved attachment. j

Fig. 2 represents an elevation of the outer side of the attachment. VReferring to the drawings, wherein like numeralsdesignate like parts,the novel de .vice includes a body 3 concavedatone side and providedwith a taperingjprotuberance of the same side. An opening 5 extendsthrough the central portion of the plate 3 and is enlarged within theprotuberance 4' to provide a relatively large chamber 6.

A plurality of orifices 7 are formed in the wall of the protuberance lto provide inlets for the fluid returning after its application to thesubject.

A duct 8 extends from the chamber 6 and opens at the outer side 9 oftheplate, and is adapted to receive the ribbed end portion 10 7 of anipple 11. The nipple 11 serves to receive a drain tube 12.

ing 5 and'the chamber'6 for. delivering the douchingfiuid to the. pointwithin the vagina desired. V c l I Y While the body 9 is preferablyconstructed of some resilient material such as rubber, it isto; beunderstood that no restrictionnis to be placed on the materialyandthatcertain changesmay be made in the specific shape and size of the devicewithout departing from the spirit and scope of the {invention as claimedhereinafter. V

Having thus described my invention, what Iclaim as new is:. Y A shieldfora syringe comprising a substantially solid body of resilient materialhavcaved on its upper side, and a tapering. protuberanceextending'centrally from the concaved side of the base, said body havingan opening extending centrally through the base and protuberance for thereception of syringe noz zle andhaving the opening restricted atthelower portion ofthe bodyto dispose the material of the latter closelyabout ness of thebase and being enlarged at'thef upper portion of thebody to provide. a relatively large waste collecting chamber around thenozzle, said body being further provided with end flow openingscommunicating with the chamber through the side walls of theprotuberance and a drain opening communicating with the chamber fromthebottom side of the base. e i 'In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
